Association
Eternaltwin is a registered French non-profit organization (Association loi du 1er juillet 1901). The role of the association is to manage the project by handling higher level decision and administrative tasks such as expenses.
What we do
The association hosts and keeps alive the open source remakes of the old Motion-Twin games: LaBrute, Hordes/MyHordes, Eternalfest, DinoRPG, Miniville, and many more.
In practice, the association takes care of:
- Hosting the servers and the technical infrastructure
- Coordinating the project leads and the volunteer developers
- Managing player accounts (single sign-on with Eternaltwin)
- Preserving the Motion-Twin gaming heritage
Structure
The association is steered by a council which meets regularly, and relies entirely on passionate volunteers.
The association is directed by a council of 9 people. They are responsible for voting on decisions. There are 6 regular council members, and 3 board members with extra powers. The president represents the association, the treasurer is responsible for finances, and the secretary handles communications.

Membership
As of January 2026, registration as a member is available free of charge on the Discord server. Registering as a member means that you'll be notified of updates and notifications.
Registering as a member is not required to play. The games are available to all users.
Donations and tax deduction
Donations made to the association cover the hosting costs and support the projects.
This section is under-documented and should be expanded in the future. As a registered French non-profit organization, donations to Eternaltwin may grant you a partial tax deduction of up to 66% for French taxes.
As an example, if you donate 30€, you may get a 20€ reduction in French taxes, so you're only down 10€ overall.
We'll provide the required documents for donations made during a given calendar year starting in January of the following year. For example, donations made in 2026 will received the appropriate documents in January 2027.
For people paying outside of France, you are unlikely to be eligible for the tax deduction.
